When Your Child Is Hurting and You Feel Like a Bad Mom

“I want everything to go back to the way it was.” That’s what my daughter told me recently.

She’s four.

She lives with me half the time, and with her dad the other half.

It’s been this way for about a year since our divorce.

We have an amicable relationship.

We still do holidays together.

We share family dinners every week.

From the outside, it looks like we’re “doing it right.”

But she’s still hurting.

And that… breaks my heart.

When You Feel Like a Bad Mom

The truth no one tells you about “conscious parenting” and “peaceful co-parenting” is that it can still be deeply painful—especially when your child expresses sadness you can’t fix.

Even when you know it was the best decision for your family…Even when the adults are emotionally stable…Your child’s grief still cuts deep.

And when she’s crying, and you have to be the steady one…

Sometimes, you go cry alone after.

I know I do.

What I Do in Those Moments

I breathe.

Not to numb myself—but to come home to myself.

💨 In through the nose. Slowly. 

Out through the mouth. Twice as long.

This is nervous system regulation. It’s simple. It’s profound. And it works.

It brings me back into my body so I can hold space for her emotions—without losing myself in the process.

If You’re Carrying Too Much…

You’re not weak. You’re human.

If you’ve ever found yourself crying behind closed doors… Snapping at your kids because you're beyond exhausted… Feeling like you’re failing even though you’re trying so hard…

💛 You’re not alone.

And you don’t have to keep living this way.
